20/09 Trapped

Soft caress
You stroke your fingers
Up my arm, gently
Soothing
Flattening down light whispy hairs
Blowing a soft breeze
From between your lips
Sighing
Gently and singing
My name
In a voice comparable to
An angelic mouse
Oh I am caught
In time and in place
Summoned to your attention
Entrapped
By your touch and gaze
I am a prisoner
Barely able to escape
But this is
Voluntary
I want to be here
Trapped
In your embrace

16/09 Medicine

There's a reason why
You let a mad person know
WHY YOU'RE ABOUT
to do something
Why you can't
Seem to get
The BLooDY MEdicAtioN they need

15/09 Boom

BOOM
and the chord is struck
THUMP
and they all know
THUNDER
and it's clear the shot
Exploded this time
Guaranteed this time
killed this time

14/09 Christian

Watching them preach
But who am I to judge
The people flock around
It's just nothing I would do
We share the same religion
But I express it differently
They ask them on the streets
But I sit here and show
They ask if they would like to talk
I sit here waiting for a friend
Politely, they nod when declined
I just smile non-chalantly
If they came to me I'd just say
That it's okay, I'm like them
I'm just a quiet Christian,
Living a quieter life
Expressing myself through deeds

13/09 You

Hunger
For you
Desire
For you
I'm wanting
You
Daily

12/09 Fae In The Night

They came they did
They came my dear
From over the hills and beyond
They came they did
They came my dear
And held us close to heart
They came they did
They came my dear
And danced us to distraction
They came they did
They came my dear
And stole the youngest away

11/09 Autumn Chant

Sun times
Breezy times
It is now ending
August times
September times
Let the autumn come

11/09 Challenge

Life
Is but a challenge
That you need to get through

10/09 Pack

Let me not be your crutch
But let me be your guide
As we go through this life
Suffering
For I am not a lone bird
I am but one lost from their flock
I see the others
Sparingly
Flying to and fro in a daily life
And eyes meet
And paths cross
But we fly on, going own ways
Suffering
You're not the only one, my dear
You're not the only one crying
There are many others
Many faces
Buts it's okay
It will all be okay
You're one of a pack now

09/09 These

Hunger
Is a feeling
Thirst
Is a necessity
Passion
Is a romance
Laughter
Is an experience

08/09 Focus

Let us be not of
Simple minds
But expand ourselves
To other worlds
Let us not
Confine our own lives
But instead focus on
The other times

07/09 Day At Work

Hunger
Insatiable
I just can't wait
To be out

06/09 Chair

Chair is there
Over there
In that corner
It sits
And waits
For a person
To take advantage of it
Sitting
Waiting
Or does it stand
Stand and wait
On four legs, one broken
Empty and
Lonely
Calling silently
Fill me
Fill me
Fill me

05/09 Working

Seek your serenity
This is an impossiblility
I'm a writer, poet, artist of words
How I got here - it's absurd
Failing in life is not my forte
Why won't these nightmares go away
The grimoires, the hatred, the scourges of death
They don't understand or respect a certain depth
Of valour, might, wisdom and wit
So I've been condemned to this grumpy pit

04/09 Take Me

Take me back
To the time
When we dined
On wine
And danced until
Our bodies were sore
Take me back
To the place
Where we found
Our disgrace
And sent feelings
Onto the floor
Take me back
To the room
Where we heard
The boom
And everyone died
So their hearts
Could soar

03/09 Why

Why
Why can't I
Keep up with you
Stick with you
Catch you
Why
Why can't I
Be the one
Have the one
Love the one
Of my dreams

02/09 Rain

Let the rain
Come again
Let it wash
Over me
Flittering away my
Indiscretions
My confessions
My preconceptions
I'm lost
In a dry heat
Starving and thirsty
All I need is
Refreshing rain
To wash me clean
Again

01/09 Stuck

Stuck in a dead end
Looking forwards to the weekend
I don't know
I don't know
How I can cope

30/08 Capitalism

I walk this walk every day
And it won't ever go away
It's ingrained in my memory
Ingrained in my head
But I want to be elsewhere
Like - in my bed
But this walk is compulsory
For our capitalist reign
I say it's stupid
But the earth says, "wrong again."
I've read interesting articles
That say thr time is near
That post-capitalism will rear a head
And and say that
It's alright
It's all dead
You can be what you want today
You can be who you want today
But that's not true
It's never going to be true
Because I know I'll be walking this walk
I know I'll be talking these words
Tomorrow
And the day after
And the day after

29/08 Boom

Boom
And I am broken
Boom
And my heart falls
Boom
And it lands on the floor
Boom
Outside ribcage walls
Boom
I'm bending over
Boom
I'm falling down
Boom
I'm not really here
Boom
Kick me out of town

28/08 Retort

But you are here
So face it
You've got no other choice
The others refused you
They left you in the muck
In the 'sometime afters'
In the 'I'll get back to you's
Face it
You're a left behind
And we're the only ones
Who will accept you

27/08 Face It

Face it
I'm not meant for this
Face it
I'm not
Meant to be here
I'm dealing with stress
In a place
Where I'm a mess
Face it
Please
I'm not meant to be here

26/08 If I was

If I was an artist
I'd paint a picture
To make you look just write
If I was a song man
I'd write you a lyric
To make your name
Sound sweet
If I was a writer
I'd write you a poem
To make you sound
The best
If I was a girl
I'd invite you into my heart
And keep you to my chest

25/08 You

In a month or two
I'm getting married to you
When I met you
I was broken inside
But you placed your hand
On my heart
And patched me up right
I feel alive
When I am beside
You
